Hello all, so I need a new psu for this setup:

CPU: i3-3220

GPU: GTX 1050

RAM: 8GB

HDD: 2 7.2K RPM HDD'S

 

My budget is ~50€ because I think that it's enough for this setup.I just can't find any good deals in my country :/ Only found these two which look's best for me.http://www.1a.lt/kompiuteriu_komponentai_tinklo_produktai/korpusas_ir_ausinimas/maitinimo_blokai/cooler_master_atx_231_gm_450w_rs450amaab1eu

Just not sure which to buy? Or maybe any other suggestions?

Anything from tier 4 or above from the PSU tier list in my signature will be fine (300w+).

All I can found in my country stores for ~50€ is Cooler master GM 450W from tier 4 , so is it good choice comparing to XFX TS Bronze 430W ? Because Cooler master's price is 10€ higher.

You should be able to get a cx450m for around 45-50 euros, if any stores have it in. make sure its a grey label as they're tier 3.. but i think the green label 4xx watt is a 430watt anyway, so you wont need to worry :P

Yea found that CX450M with grey label, little bit higher price and from other store which I don't prefer , anyway I will consider this PSU as it looks very good, but just want to hear some thaughts about that XFX TS 430W PSU.

XFX TS is better than a GM450

Okay so I have 2 options now, first one is XFX TS 430W 80+ Bronze for 44€ and another option is Corsair CX450M 80+ Bronze for 57€ , so which should I buy?

Either are fine choices. Although, the CX450m comes with two 6+2 pin PCIE connetors whereas the XFX TS 430 only comes with one. So.....it depends what your future plans look like. A CX450m can be used with basically any GPU you want whereas the XFX TS 430 will be limited to those that have a single 6 pin or a single 8 pin connector (although you technically could use a molex to PCIE connector to get a second PCIE connector).
